	Does this still work if you don't run chrooted?
	To the OP: does this happen every reboot, or when you update the
system?  I used to have tha latter problem, and fixed it by adding

NO_BIND_ETC=       true    # Do not install files to /etc/namedb

	to /etc/make.conf.  Upsides: no permission mangling, and no
automatic file update.  Downside: no automatic file update, though
you can deal with this using mergeaster.
